I'd love a tech shop around here, but there isn't enough demand I imagine.
If course, paying for classes, memberships and machine time on the waterjet is much less expensive than buying one of your own. But that doesn't make it cheap. Getting a sponsor, for example, would be much less work, cost much less, and probably be faster.

TS is definitely looking to expand. There are actually two withing half an hour of my house. I don't know the exact details of where you live, but there could be a TS within driving distance in the foreseeable future. The founder has said he wants TSs in Uganda, even, so SoCal isn't a ton of a stretch.
